The Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) has represented the interests of people who have been injured through no fault of their own for almost 30 years in Parliament, in the media, and through a first class training programme tailor-made for our lawyer members.

Over the years APIL has grown to become a highly respected organisation in its field and we are now seeking an experienced and motivational leader with a track record of delivering strategic goals.

These are challenging times for APIL. As compensation levels and the personal injury process remain under scrutiny across all UK governments our organisation will need agility to be able to respond to the inevitable impact on 3,400 members and the injured people it represents. This position represents an exciting opportunity for a dedicated and committed individual to take on this challenge and to work with our board of directors and experienced team of staff to build on the organisation's strong foundations, develop new initiatives and fulfil the association's potential for future growth.

The successful candidate will be skilled in operational and financial management, and have experience of optimising the role of volunteers in a business: experience of a not-for-profit organisation would be an advantage.
